The Island of Logic

Since the Libs have all their conspiracy theories about Bush and Cheney, (i.e. Bush was behind 9/11, Cheney blew up the levees in New Orleans, Bush was awol from the National Guard, Cheney eats cute puppies alive, etc. etc.)  I have decided to spread the seeds of conspiracy about Obama and his ilk. Hopefully some of these will take root and spread like a pandemic through the blogosphere.

• Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are Cylons secretly plotting the demise of the earth through the hoax of global warming.
• Obama’s economic policies will make 2 + 2 < or = or > 12.6.
• Obama want to replace the military’s standard issue M16 with new high-tech slingshots that shoot marshmallows.
• Obama wants to replace the US currency with the historically tried and proven sticks and stones.
• Obama will ban the sale of beans, to prevent flatulence, which is one of the primary contributors to global warming.
• Obama was secretly behind the failed plot to tickle John McCain during the Presidential debates.
• Obama is a robot controlled by a band of artificially intelligent teleprompters created by the CIA.
• Obama is actually a radical Amish man, he just does a great job disguising it.

A court in New Hampshire, recently ordered that home-schooled Amanda Kurowski be sent to public school. The order signed by Family Court Justice Lucinda V. Sandler says the 10-year-old’s Christian faith could use some shaking up—and that the local public school is just the place to do it. So while the child’s lawyers at the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal outfit, filed a motion asking the judge to reconsider, last week Amanda started fifth grade at a local public school.
Amanda’s mother has had primary custody over her daughter since she and Amanda’s father divorced 10 years ago. The father has had long-standing complaints about the effect of home-schooling on his daughter’s “socialization,” even though Amanda has already taken classes at the school and participated in extracurricular activities. But the order appears to be based on the guardian ad litem’s worry about Amanda’s “rigidity on faith.” The order also accepts the same guardian’s conclusion that Amanda belongs in a public school because she “would be best served by exposure to different points of view at a time in her life when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief and behavior and cooperation in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”
In a state whose motto is “Live Free or Die,” this is an extraordinary line of reasoning. Just how extraordinary might best be appreciated by contemplating the opposite scenario: the reaction that would ensue were a court to order a young girl out of a public school and into an evangelical one so she might gain “exposure” to other “systems of belief.”
We are seeing an ever increasing encroachment of political agenda into religious freedom in this country and regardless of your religious preferences stories like this one should chill us to the bone.
How long will it be before they start telling us which churches our children can attend, or maybe which Bibles we can read, or how long till they tell us that we can no longer send our children to a Christian Day School? While all of this sound far fetched and paranoid and it may well be, the fact remains that up till now I thought Amandas story was to.
